Considering that the tires are the only parts of the car
that actually maintain contact with the surface of the road, they’re actually
four of the most important safety features on your car – or five if we count
the spare!

When you are thinking about your tires, here are a few
things to keep in mind:

Overloaded – When tires are overloaded they are
inflated beyond the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure. This varies by
vehicle, so check the door jam of your vehicle for information on the proper
air pressure for your car’s tires.

Under-inflated – Under-inflated tires have less than
the recommended air pressure. Keeping your tires properly inflated is an easy way
to improve gas mileage.

Old/Worn tires – Tires with less than 4/32” tread
left should be replaced. Tires may wear unevenly so inspect all surfaces
thoroughly. Most manufacturers recommend replacement after 6 years regardless
of wear or mileage. Many tire centers won’t even service tires that are over 10
years old.

Different tires for different driving conditions –

°All-season tires provide better
traction in winter, but can’t manage the heat created in high speed driving.

°Passenger car tires may not be
able to bear the load of a pick up truck that hauls.

°Summer/dry performance, or
ultra-high performance tires, won’t grip on snowy or icy roads and they’re not
designed to drive in temperatures below 45* F because the rubber hardens, decreasing
flexibility.

The Spare Tire – The spare tire is your lifesaver
when a tire goes flat. Don’t skimp on this piece of safety equipment. Invest in
a full-sized spare and have it checked by your mechanic when you have your
tires rotated.

The list above is a short introduction to your vehicle’s
tires. Take the time to get to know your tires and consult your mechanic with
any questions along the way.

Ensuring that your tires are in good condition keeps you and
your family safer on the road, saves you money with bettergas mileage and
improves your overall ride.
